The buffet, unlike normal.. kinda follows certain courses.. the bread and soup is being served to us, and the brazillian food of course .. the rest we can take ourselves, but I think they kinda expect you to move along each stages accordingly... bread, soup, appertiser, main course, brazillian, fruit, fondue, dessert then choice of coffee or tea will be served to us .. then the bill hahaha :)
